Procedure

To a solution of 1.73 g of L-Valine t-butyl ester in 10 ml of methanol was added 9.0 ml of methyl acrylate. The solution was heated to reflux overnight. Another 9.0 ml of methyl acrylate was added and continued the reflux for 24 h. The solvent was evaporated in vacuo and the crude product was purified by silica gel column chromatography (20% ethyl acetate in hexane) to provide 2.435 g of desired compound (93.9%). 300 MHz 1H NMR (CDCl3) δ 0.91 (d, J=3.5 Hz, 3H), 0.93 (d, J=3.5 Hz, 3H), 1.47 (s, 9H), 1.85 (m, 1H), 2.47 (t, J=7 Hz, 2H), 2.68 (m, 1H), 2.81 (d, J=6 Hz, 1H), 2.95 (m, 1H), 3.68 (s, 3H). Mass spectrum: (M+H)+=260.
